META /r/EmpireDidNothingWrong Update!

Hello there loyal citizens of the Empire. Just wished to give an update on things as we continue on with the Star Wars revival that is happening right now.

Some could say this has become the Silver Age for all things Star Wars, with a whole new trilogy unfolding before us on the big screen and spin-off films filling the years in-between. I am sure we are all eagerly awaiting Rogue One to come out shortly this year with the full dedication we can hope for to the Empire.

Just wish to give some kind of message out there and this is the easiest way. Reposts, now of course we are going to get them. Every subreddit does and with our little community we are bound too get a few. Some of you may have noticed some submissions disappearing past month, and this would be the reason why. Now every person has their own reasoning for how long you should wait until posting something again but a quick search on the Subreddit you can check yourselves to avoid your submissions being removed. If you are unsure, always feel free to message the mods.

Thirdly, I suppose it is thirdly now. With Rogue One approaching there is going to be a surge of submissions I am sure, please do check if others have posted similar before your own. There was some marketing material for example recently with filthy Rebel lies on that was being noticed by many people. Just awareness is all.

Finally. Well done to us all I think, when I became mod here we were hitting around just over 10k loyalists. Now I sit here looking at over 40 thousand! Dayum if that ain't something nice to see. You have all been wonderful loyal citizens of the Empire and continue to appreciate the true heroes of the galaxy! Now the RP mega-thread will continue as normal but as we have hit a few of them now I am working on a better way to archive previous posts rather than slowly filling up a list on that thread. Any ideas are welcomed on that challenge.

Any queries post away and will answer all. Cheers all!

Death Star II was a repost.

This sounds like you're implying the Empire did something wrong not waiting long enough.

Ahh but they were making it bigger and better than the original. If someone creates a nice work of art then someone creates a magnificent piece of art after from the same inspiration. Is it a repost?

Also how dare you suggest the Empire would "repost" anything!

I'm a simple guy just working for the man. That's above my pay grade.

ARE WE NOT CITIZENS OF THE GLORIOUS EMPIRE!?!

IS AN EMPIRE NOTHING BUT THE COLLECTIVE MIGHT OF ITS PEOPLES?!?

And yet in this very post you suggest reposters lurk among our ranks.

u/Runtles Captain Oct 20 '16

The Rebel Scum always lurk and plot and scheme among other loyal citizens of the Empire. They are a menace hiding in the shadow, vigilance!

We should have the Holo-Net address of the ISB up in bold on the sidebar, so we can quickly dial for them when we see rebel scum.

u/Runtles Captain Dec 13 '16

You mean to say you don't have the ISB on speed-dial?

u/HeraldWasington Emperor's Hand - Director - Demon Corps - Black Sword Command Dec 14 '16

I do, but some of the lesser ranked people working for the Empire might not have it on speed-dial.

The DS2 had a firing interval of 15 mins while the original had a 24 hour recharge time. I'd say it's a proper sequel, not a repost.

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

The DS-2 was not a "repost." It would have been the ultimate deterrent to rebellion. And four years was certainly long enough.

And four years was certainly long enough.

Not to finish it

What do you expect with a station of that size? The original 20 years to build, let alone get functional.

The second one was already opreational in a fifth of the time.

u/Euphanistic Oct 20 '16

We just needed more men.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '16

We needed more Wookie slaves

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

I believe you mean PeaceSphere II, I mean come on it's not that hard to help COMPNOR out with these things.

u/Euphanistic Oct 20 '16

Look. Let's be honest. A couple planets of dead people is a much smaller death toll than the Rebellion rolled up after its destruction.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

I agree but the name just is made for rebel propaganda

3

u/xilef_destroy Mouse droid enthusiast Oct 22 '16

Nah. It's to bring fear to the rebel scum

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

Truthfully, I don't know if there is much of a reason to archive the RP threads since the beginning. I don't know of many people who read, say, the very first one. Escpecially since some of them are in excess of 500 comments. Just a thought.

3

u/Runtles Captain Oct 20 '16

Good point, I doubt there is many who would look through all the previous RP posts but it is nice having a sort of viewing history of it all to this point. I had thought of creating a throwaway submission purely as a list of the previous threads as the "archive" thread and then just link to that in the RP thread, the archive one wouldn't be stickied or anything as not needed.

u/Rivka333 Loyal citizen Oct 30 '16

Am new and do plan on reading old threads :)

u/Runtles Captain Oct 30 '16

Well the archive is linked too in the current Mega Thread for RP. If you're interested.

Thanks Runtles, you and the other mods have been nothing but wonderful. You guys rock!

u/Runtles Captain Nov 07 '16

You're making me blush.

u/clone2334 clone trooper out of action- imperial academy Oct 24 '16

ok good that I now know because my posts have gone missing left and right.

2

u/Runtles Captain Oct 24 '16

Every submission of yours that have been deleted resulted in a message sent to you explaining such. Often your posts were reposts or did not belong as they were considered RP related and should be put in the sticky.

never mind I found them

u/newo15 stormtrooper Nov 09 '16

How do you get the green words by your name to explain your rank.

2

u/Runtles Captain Nov 09 '16

On the right sidebar near just under the subscribe button there is a flair option, all subs nearly have this feature. The FAQ also explains it.

u/newo15 stormtrooper Nov 10 '16

Thanks

u/originalbucky33 Imperial Operations Planner Dec 07 '16

If you have 40K subscribers should we consider changing from the Empire to Imperium? I believe it would still need a crotchety old Emperor.

u/Runtles Captain Dec 07 '16

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

I mean how dare you think we would forsake our loyalty to the Galactic Empire for that broken Imperium? That and I am totally a Chaos fanboy so on a personal level I couldn't.
